This place derived its earlier name from being the property, and perhaps the suburban residence of John Cosyn, a worthy alderman of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the seventeenth century. About 1740, sir Robert Carre, a London knight, and draper, but also, it is thought, a burgess of the northern metropolis, bought Cosyn’s house at Wallsend, and thenceforward designated it Carre-ville. The present mansion is, with some little impropriety, called Carville-_hall_. When I began my inquiries at Wallsend, I had much difficulty in ascertaining which was Cousin’s-house. One man told me he had lived all his life in Wallsend—sixty years—and had never heard of it. Our books still continue to copy from Horsley, and to give us the out-of-date information that the Wall began at Cousin’s-house. Footnote 58: In districts where the Wall has been levelled with the earth, a foot-path or bridle-road frequently indicates its course. When land was of less value than it is now, the farmers, who appropriated the stones of the Wall to their own use, were not at the trouble to remove its foundation. The stony track, however, afforded a firm road, and when the increased value of the ground rendered it worth while to bring the whole into cultivation, a right of way had, in many instances, been established. Footnote 59: Hodgson, II. iii. 169. Footnote 60: Horsley’s traditionary account was probably derived from the same source as Leland’s; and therefore may indicate, not the station wall, but the great Wall itself. If, as the excavations made since Horsley’s day seem to prove, the Wall crossed obliquely from the south to the north side of Collingwood-street, it must have passed over the site of St. Nicholas’-church—not to the north of it. Footnote 61: So inviting a post would not escape the notice of the ancient British warrior—the appearances Mr. Hodgson describes, are not inconsistent with its having been an Ancient-British strong-hold. Footnote 62: Drawn to twice the usual size. Footnote 63: The author, as the leader of the pilgrim-band who traversed the Wall in the summer of 1849, used a staff made out of this primeval oak. It is now in the Newcastle collection of antiquities. Footnote 64: Tour, iii. 313, quoted by Brand, i. 37. Footnote 65: Brand’s Newcastle, i. 37.
